2020 US General Election Thread VII: Summer of Discontent

[Necroghastia]

They said themselves the they didn't know the difference, I linked something that would explain it but they ignored it on the basis of distrust. That is absolutely ignorance.

It's not, perhaps you should spend less time consuming communist fables and more time consuming english textbooks?

Said the pot to the kettle.

I've quite explicitly rejected communist fables.

And English textbooks, it seems.

Check your 2020 apocalypse bingo cards, folks, Jo Jorgenson is getting the rabies vaccine after being bitten by a bat in Mississippi: https://time.com/5877803/jo-jorgensen-bat-libertarian-candidate/

Well at least we know she isn't an anti-vaxxer... as far as we know, but getting a shot for rabies is a good sign at least.

Maybe you should take the time to learn what communism really is before you reject it...? Just an idea.

Not to any reasonable person.

Maybe you should stop making ignorant assumptions about people you hardly know.

lmao
You can't make this stuff up, folks.

[Necroghastia]

I would contend that a person who has advocated the assassination of public officials and their families is not a good judge of a "reasonable person," but you do you, Tel.

[The Black Forrest]

Hmph. Time off and back to the usual games. Oh well.

I'm so glad I have your permission to retain moral decency, don't know what I would have done without it.

Who's playing games?

I see no reason to exclude communist theory from my knowledge when I am perfectly capable of proficiency in both that and the English language.

Oh, the hypocrisy...

You don't have to exclude it from knowledge to be capable of rejecting it.

[Cordel One]

You don't have to exclude it from knowledge to be capable of rejecting it.

I don't, but it's important to know what an ideology is before blindly rejecting it. In the case of communism, I accept it as my ideology because I know what it is.

Who's blindly rejecting it?

[Cannot think of a name]

Back five minutes and already reduced the thread to “I know you are but what am I?”

Top tier.

Who's blindly rejecting it?

I might be making this up, but I seem to recall someone opposed to communism saying there was no difference between private and personal property. There's no way anyone who's read up on communism would say that, so that individual must be blindly rejecting it.

whats the differance?

There isn't one.

Oh, wait...

[Telconi]

Your adoration is as unnerving as it is unwelcome.

Again, it's possible to read something, and also reject it's truthfulness.

If you don't think that, please never pick up a copy of Mein Kampf.

The Marxist definitions of private and personal property are just classifications on what communists believe should and shouldn't be publicly owned. You can debate many other things Marx said, but you can't say we don't see a difference between the two.

I have read Mein Kampf by the way, I rejected fascism and Nazism based on the atrocious things they actually believe, not some weird strawman.


I don't want to make a new spammy comment but I'd like to say I do acknowledge the Farnhamia's post and will let it go as I don't want to threadjack.

Let it go. You've made your point, he's made his. Don't turn this into a thread-jack.

I never said you didn't believe in a difference, I said there wasn't a difference. Those are two distinctly different things.

That's good, weird straw men are bad, and weird.

I only skimmed the article in question, but it seems like they're distinguishing the difference between real property and personal property, referring to the former as private property - which real property can be, but it can also be public - and the latter as possessions, which I would consider a reasonable synonym. Though, again, I only skimmed the article so I can't be sure - nor can I tell you whether they distinguish them well or not.

But, there is a different between private and personal property, whether the article in question gets the difference right or not.

The real question is what relevance any of this has to the 2020 presidential election.
